Verdict
Dual winning Pointer THAT'll DO created a nice impression when winning under rules in a Novice Hurdle last time and he should be following up. The Paul Nicholls inmate is looking very progressive and related to plenty of winners should have loads more to offer. Nicene Creed sets the standard rated 123 and cost current connections a tidy sum after a promising bumper debut. He picked up his hurdles debut in good enough style and with excuses for his run last time he looks a threat. Alan King's Yukon Quest looks the only other with serious claims after running well in three bumpers and should do better now jumping.
